AI Summary
This bill, known as the Protect our Parks Act of 2025, addresses National Park Service (NPS) staffing and ongoing projects. Within 30 days of enactment, the Secretary of the Interior must take actions to fully staff national park units to ensure visitor safety, protect natural and cultural resources, and fill all maintenance staff positions. The bill also requires the reinstatement of NPS employees who were involuntarily removed or terminated between January 20, 2025, and the bill's enactment date. Additionally, the bill mandates the continuation of authorized NPS projects previously funded through several key legislative acts, including the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, the Great American Outdoors Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The legislation aims to stabilize and support the National Park Service's workforce and maintain ongoing conservation and infrastructure efforts.
